Marin Cilic edges past Martin Klizan at US Open

Cilic edges past Klizan

Martin Klizan's run at the US Open was ended by Marin Cilic in round four this evening.

Current world number 52 Klizan had caused a couple of upsets at Flushing Meadows this year, most notably when he knocked out France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

However, Cilic didn't provide Klizan with any real chances during their clash.

The Croatian won the opening set 7-5, before a single break of Klizan's serve handed him the second set 6-4.

The third set proved to be even more straightforward for world number 13 Cilic, who wrapped up his place in the quarter-finals courtesy of a 6-0 bagel.

He will now face either Andy Murray or Milos Raonic for a slot in the semi-finals.
